Artificial Intelligence Poses Existential Threat: Experts Warn of Uncontrolled Systems and the Rise of an Arms Race

Artificial Intelligence: Will It Kill Us?

A few days ago, the British prime minister’s technology adviser, Rishi Sunak, announced that artificial intelligence could become powerful enough to ‘kill many people’ in just two years, warning that “the existential danger being spoken of is what will happen once intelligence is created.” bigger than humans.”

“Unless AI manufacturers and developers are regulated on a global scale, ‘very powerful’ systems could emerge that humans may find it difficult to control,” Matt Clifford told UK newspaper ‘The Independent’.

Days later, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman returned to say he was afraid of the generative AI he had helped develop. Altman said in an interview with the Times of India of India, was so stressed that he became sleepless after launching ChatGPT AI chatbot.

He told reporters that OpenAI had done “a really bad thing”. He added that he doesn’t think the launch of “GBT chat” is a bad thing in in and of itself, but that the bot’s launch is too late and no longer has much influence on what happens next. Altman has made several statements about his concerns about the future of AI and concerns about competitors who could create evil algorithms. He then decided to sign an open letter warning that “artificial intelligence will cause the extinction of humanity”.

The Need for Global Regulation

Amidst all these warnings that AI could become a wild killer that could wipe out humans, British officials have called for the speed and need to organize AI manufacturers and developers on a global scale and create very strong systems that allow everyone to control this new technology.

Expert Opinion

In response, Hassan Hamed, an Egyptian information technology expert, told Agency that it’s obviously possible for AI to get out of human control due to its ability to make independent decisions, but given the current state of AI, that’s unlikely to happen, it’s in the short term.

And he adds: “On the other hand, the greatest danger in artificial intelligence is not really its out of control, but rather its immoral use by the countries that develop it, and considering it an arms race of a new kind that will impose his control over the scene in the next stage.”

The Future of AI

The Egyptian expert stressed the need for the non-absence of laws regulating work in the field of artificial intelligence, in how much would lead to their enactment retroactively after the occurrence of undesirable consequences, given the ambiguity of the current vision of his future and the exact limits of his capabilities. He added that the inevitable danger that should be discussed now is not artificial intelligence spiraling out of control, but rather the frantic arms race that has already begun to control this field.

Now, dear reader, tell us your opinion on this matter in the comments.
